Chiropractic​What to expect on your 1st Visit

What to expect...

1st visitYour first visit will consist of a Health history, Chiropractic exam and Chiropractic treatment. There will be no X-rays taken at this time. Clinically, there is no need for an X-ray to diagnose and treat a Chiropractic condition. After a thorough biomechanical exam the doctor will have enough objective information to treat. This avoids unnecessary radiation and saves cost for the patient. However, if trauma has occurred or we suspect a more serious pathology we will refer you out for the necessary diagnostic tests. The treatment and exam are performed fully clothed and consist of posture analysis, range of motion findings, spinal nerve, muscle and orthopedic tests followed by a gentle, specific Chiropractic adjustment. Depending on your case the doctor may recommend home care (ice, heat, stretches) or nutritional support. The Initial Exam and treatment take a full hour. Please arrive 10 minutes before your treatment time so that your paperwork is complete when the doctor is ready to see you.

2nd visitYour second visit consists of a Report of Findings prepared & presented by the doctor. This report will outline the postural & movement imbalances, muscle spasm, nerve pressure and inflammatory processes found in your Initial Exam. The doctor will explain your diagnosis and give a prognosis on how long it will take for you to get better. You will have an opportunity to ask questions regarding your condition and will be given the doctors recommendations for care. This will include frequency of visits as well as diet, exercise and lifestyle modifications needed to speed your recovery. Following the report, you will receive your second Chiropractic adjustment.
